I absolutely love my LA'er. That being said, I usually pay much closer to $300 than $200, which I pay, just so I can get it done, and move on to the next one. I let her choose the quilting design. I supply the batting and backing, and usually do the binding ( she charges extra for that). Her turnaround is fairly quick, and I have ever been dissatisfied with her work. I have occasionally thought about looking elsewhere, but the next nearest person who does LA-ing is approx. 90 min away, and it is not worth my effort to drive that far.
However, when I retire in 3 years, guess what my first purchase will be?
